STRUMMING:
Now for the initial chord-play, the strumming technique is very essential.
The basic strumming goes: Up Down U D U D U D...
The first strumming starts with the Em chord. Here's a ROUGH idea of which strings to
strum, please improvize!
Em
e|------0-0-------0-0------------|
B|------0-0-------0-0------------|
G|----0-0-0-----0-0-0---0-0-0-0--|
D|----2-2-2-----2-2-2---2-2-2-2--| (x4)
A|----2-2-2-----2-2-2---2-2-2-2--|
E|--0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0--|
v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^
v = Down stroke
^ = Up stroke
NOTE - You must follow the SAME strumming pattern that I've demonstrated here using the
Em chord for ALL the chords, throughout the song.
The basic idea is to strum the bass note first, bass strings next and finally all the
strings twice or more. Listen closely to the song to understand the pattern i've
demonstrated in the tab above.

An Advice: Don't sing-along some of the parts! :P It's pretty tough keeping up that
strumming pattern and singing along ESPECIALLY during the verses after the Chorus.
